An algorithm developed by MIT assists in predicting the occurrence of severe weather conditions.

Policymakers usually depend on coarse-resolution global climate models to assess a community's risk of extreme weather. By looking decades and even centuries into the future, these models can predict large-scale weather patterns but struggle to provide specific data for smaller locations. To estimate the risk of an area such as Boston experiencing extreme weather events…
